Question

Review the paragraph and answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

Answer: [1] People say the necessities of life are food, water, shelter, and clothing, but I think a fifth item should be added to the list: Scotch tape.

Explanation:

Although not always, the topic sentence is usually found in the first paragraph of a text. This text is an example of that custom. The second paragraph might seem like a valid option because it highlights the narrator's constant need for scotch tape. However, only the first sentence shows the kind of worship this person has for that item, stating that it should be considered as much of a life necessity as food, water, shelter, and clothing.
